Nestled in the heart of Jeffersonville, Sterling Ridge Resort is a hidden gem that captures the essence of Vermont’s charm. This resort offers a peaceful retreat with its log cabin accommodations and panoramic views of the mountains, like Mount Mansfield. The natural beauty of the resort, combined with its cozy and intimate atmosphere, makes it an ideal venue for a fall Vermont elopement, or larger weekend-long celebrations. 

The day began with Stella and Tiffany having their makeup expertly applied by the award-winning Vermont makeup artist, Jennifer Perellie. Their glowy, radiant looks were further enhanced with stunning jewelry crafted by Vermont artisan, Soul Simone. Soul Simone jewelry offers an exquisite and unique touch, ideal for couples aiming to enhance their wedding day with distinctive pieces or a more dramatic look. Stella and Tiffany both had gowns from Vermont bridal boutique, Veilmonté Bridal Showroom. Although they were sourced from the same place, each gown boasted a uniquely distinctive style. Stella was dressed in a stylish, strapless gown embellished with gorgeous beading on the back and a delicate lace ‘something blue’ detail embroidered on her veil. In contrast, Tiffany showcased an A-line gown with a beaded sweetheart neckline and an elegant slit.

The essence of this styled shoot is captured in details such as the stationery, beautifully crafted by RH Design House. It showcased luxurious burgundy envelopes and liners decorated with jewel-toned fruits, including peaches. For couples wanting a vibrant touch of color or a subtle means to incorporate their wedding theme into invitations, envelope liners provide an exceptional option!

One of the day’s standout features was an enchanting vintage canoe, bursting with local blooms by Vermont wedding florist Honey Flora. The arrangement prominently showcased dahlias, known for their brilliant autumnal shades. Maya also included orchids and amaranth, adding a contemporary twist and a playful touch. To capture the essence of the season, local hydrangeas, yellow ferns, calla lilies and beech leaves rounded out the florals, lending a subtle sophistication to the display. Stella and Tiffany were surrounded by an abundance of vibrant beauty as they leisurely- and stylishly- made their way across Sterling Ridge Pond. (Just wait until you see the breathtaking drone shots below!)

With her expert touch, Vermont wedding photographer Isora Lithgow Creations flawlessly documented every kiss, smile, and tender moment of the day, leaving no detail overlooked. To conclude their day, Stella and Tiffany headed to a dock and enjoyed some champagne courtesy of Salt & Bubbles. While they clinked glasses, the pair savored a vintage-inspired, heart-shaped cake from The Goose Chase Cake Design.
